200 liters? What are the tank dimensions?

If I am correct on my thoughts from the US spectrum, you tank is probably no more than 4’ or 120cm long. If that is the case you’re going to have constant problems as the tank is WAY too small for the current occupants you have.
Sorry, I don’t mean to be rude, but that’s the simple truth of the matter 🤷🏻‍♂️
How does your 18” arowana even turn around?

This new member doesn't strike me as a bot, which means this situation is real and not something that's happening in cyber land.

The sad truth is N Nikhil b your tank is way too small for just your arowana and parrots, nevermind the two big oscars you've just introduced today.

I urge you to either get a tank upgrade, or thin out your stock.
